Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / July 2004Allow end user to pick bitrate of stream
How can I give the end user via the player the ability to switch the source of a multi-source stream using an .asx file. Also, how can I give them the ability to switch bitrates. MBR doesn't work. Hardly ever does with my streamed videos. This is from a server posting reply regarding bitrates THANKS! I tried each bitrate in this form mms://streamingserver/video/content?WMBitRate=111 but they all come out at 80kbps. What am I doing wrong and is there a way to give the end user the option of choosing via some buttons or links in the WMP itself? And why doesn't MBR work with my video. It works 1 time out very 100 with video and about 1/4 of the time with just an audio stream?

The WMBitrate parameter has to be specified in bits per second, you seem to mention kbps when you state just 111.

Yes, thanks. I had to add three zeros on the end. This is very good. I really appreciate it. Do you think I can program something that can show up in the player to allow them to pick or switch the rate? > Can you specify WMBitrate=112000 (slightly higher than > 111000) and see if that works?
